Wrecking two newspapers

 This is a follow-up to my previous post about Dennis and Theresa Phillips and a sidebar of Jim Moser.

Just saw the latest TPA directory.

I knew Marlin and Rosebud had been bleeding subscribers, but didn't realize it was THAT bad.

One-third of the level of when I was there six years ago.

Yes, all newspapers have lost subscribers, but most small-town papers haven't lost them like THAT.

 Sadly and interestingly, I got a call on my cell a month ago. A lady thought it was still the phone number for the Marlin Democrat. Dunno if she had that from my original time there, or my brief return. I vaguely remember the caller by name, having web-searched the number.
